They\u2019ve got a lot of other guys, too, but I mean, these two receivers are elite \u2013 elite elite,\u201d said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick of the duo.<\/p>\n<p>However, as is the case with most successful offenses, things for Pittsburgh start up front with their offensive line.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-12-at-9.55.10-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"497\" height=\"243\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This season, the Steelers have the league\u2019s top pass-blocking offensive line with a 90.6 pass blocking efficiency rating and have allowed the third-fewest quarterback pressures in the NFL (99), according to Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n<p>And the Steelers have seamlessly transitioned from running back Le\u2019Veon Bell to James Conner mainly due to the play of the guys blocking for the two backs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-27798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-12-at-8.55.47-PM-500x140.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"140\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, over the last four seasons, Bell&#8217;s replacement in the backfield when he was out due to injury, suspension, or holdout have produced at almost the same rate as the two-time All-Pro on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Steelers\u2019 offensive line was rated the top group in the NFL through 14 weeks by Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/u\/0?ui=2&amp;ik=f495efe459&amp;attid=0.1.1&amp;permmsgid=msg-f:1619299681085814959&amp;th=1678e87b0405f8af&amp;view=fimg&amp;sz=s0-l75-ft&amp;attbid=ANGjdJ-fUzCjwp_bJ6k2g1egkGamqwp8mfbaJ28Dj0-JaSfjrhS1VBMSOhu3bgI6qx9I_CExVu7ji1bRPGxSKwAa4NTgxM73NqYOfd5AX8lzldwMu0HobY-0VJC5ZHo&amp;disp=emb\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re very sound \u2014 the technique\u2019s good. They do an excellent job of protecting the quarterback, especially inside with [Maurkice] Pouncey, [Ramon] Foster, [David] DeCastro,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cThey don\u2019t make a lot of mistakes. It\u2019s very seldom there\u2019s a guy that runs free or runs through the line. They get a hat on him, and they block him. It\u2019s a struggle even to get close to the quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh yeah, it\u2019s a very fine line. Like you said, and like Bill stated earlier \u2013 I didn\u2019t hear that \u2013 but in watching it, they\u2019ve got a terrific offensive line, they do a great job with protections, they handle twist games, blitzes, exotic looks. They handle them all well,\u201d added de facto defensive coordinator Brian Flores.<\/p>\n<p>As Belichick stated, the Steelers\u2019 trio on the interior of the offensive line is an elite group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s probably three of the top players in the league at those positions,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re strong. They\u2019re big. They\u2019re really long. Those guys have real long arms, so it\u2019s hard to get into them. They play well together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This season, DeCastro (sixth, 86.9) and Foster (ninth, 85.2) both rank in the top ten among interior lineman in Pro Football Focus\u2019 pass blocking grades, and Pouncey is 12th among centers (77.3).<\/p>\n<p>Plus, to make it even more challenging to generate pressure, Roethlisberger\u2019s average time to release of 2.36 seconds is currently the fastest time of any quarterback in the NFL (min. 115 dropbacks).<\/p>\n<p>For the Patriots, disrupting Roethlisberger in the pocket will test a resurgent pass rush that currently ranks 10th in pressure rate this season and sacked Miami\u2019s Ryan Tannehill and Brock Osweiler a combined five times last week.<\/p>\n<p>And they&#8217;ll have to prove that a struggling run defense has fixed its issues, especially if Conner is healthy enough to play on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>[arve url=&#8221;https:\/\/streamable.com\/s\/vbsvf\/chukmg&#8221; \/]<\/p>\n<p>Over the last two weeks, the Patriots allowed over eight yards per carry to the Vikings and Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe run game\u2019s been something that we need to do a much better job of coaching, do a better job of playing. We\u2019ve got to do a better job of getting off blocks, got to do a better job with our angles in the secondary. It\u2019s something we\u2019re going to spend a lot of time on,\u201d Flores said.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots defense will look to bounce back from an underwhelming effort against the Dolphins in Miami and will have to start by competing against one of the best offensive lines they\u2019ll face all season.<\/p>\n<p><em>For all CLNS Patriots Videos\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCVbz7gN6HGoBXXkhIWMd3Ww\">SUBSCRIBE to our CLNS Media YOUTUBE Channel<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For the most in depth and comprehensive player and game analysis check out Patriots All-22 with host and Patriots beat reporter Evan Lazar.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/patriots-all-22-new-england-patriots-nfl-game-footage\/id1272925236?mt=2\">Listen and Subscribe HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Get the inside scoop on the Patriots every week on CLNS Media\u2019s Patriots Beat Podcast with host Mike Petraglia.
